It's the big night here.

Congrats Iowa for propelling Rick Santorum to 3rd place. Great job!

It bothers me that people think this represents our state as a whole.

CNN's way too early polling shows a top tier including Romney, Paul and Santorum.

NBC stepping out on a limb with "Too Early to Call"

Guessing it goes:

 

Romney

Paul

Santorum

Gingrich

Perry

Bachmann

I 2nd that.

 

I'm choosing to watch the Sugar Bowl instead of voting tonight.

It bothers me that people think this represents our state as a whole.

What is it, like 15% of eligible voters will actually turn out here?

Something like that. People don't even realize that Republicans are easily the number three group in Iowa behind independents and democrats.

It bothers me that people think this represents our state as a whole.

exactly - the people coming out are the fanatical far right. primaries are NEVER indicative of an entire population.

Iowa is just a bunch of drunk hillbillies.

 

unless someone i like wins. then they have probably managed to sober up for a couple weeks, get a GED, and actually made a reasonable decision.

There's no chance that Vanilla Ice wins.

it really wouldn't surprise me if he did

42% reporting and Rick Santorum is in the lead.

I'd be surprised if Romney doesn't pull this out.

Mittens is pulling ahead. This would be a big win for him.

Huntsman coming in at under 1%

 

haha

CNN currently has Santorum with a 13 vote lead over Romney.

Ridiculous

Santorum put everything into this state...practically living there for much of the last year.

 

Romney just fought back the final week/s when things finally turned against Gingrich and all the soft money destroyed him...Swift Boat/Bush vs. McCain/Perot/Kerry tactics

 

Paul did well...Santorum seemingly got the entire Huckabee vote.

 

4th place allows Gingrich to live on a bit longer, Bachmann and Perry are pretty much done, although Perry will try to rally in South Carolina with his homespun speech.

 

By the way, as a native Iowan...we have one of the best educational systems in the U.S., although we do get the leftovers from the Chicago suburbs who can't get into Northwestern or Illinois, haha.

 

Those are the same college kids who got so firmly behind Obama in 2008 and helped turn the state for him.

Instead of all those college kids being clustered in Johnson and Story counties, a lot of them were spread out in their home counties which really did help.

At 92%, Romney now holds that 13 vote lead.

Can Santorum catch fire?

 

Other articles at politico.com arguing Gingrich and other candidates should give up and support Santorum against Romney.
